Abstract: 29,360. Wilfley Mining Machinery Co., and Roberts, J. F. M. Dec. 15. Travelling - band filters. - A drum or sleeve d, divided by radial partitions into compartments of segmental cross-section, rotates on a hollow support b. Around the drum are passed a supporting- b a n d e of coco-nut matting or perforated material, and a filtering- band f ; these bands are also passed respectively around stationary stretching-drums e<1>, f<1>, supported by arms e<2>, f<2>, from the frame of the apparatus. The material to be treated is supplied by a hopper k' and l i q u i d is drawn through into the upper segmental compartments and passes away through apertures d<2> which register with corresponding apertures b<2> on the upper side of the support, the hollow axle b being connected with exhaust means by a branch b<3>. The bulk of the solid material is removed from the band f by a pivoted knife h which is pressed against the band by a counterweight h<1>. The drums e', f<1> are formed at the lower surface, as shown in Fig. 7, with an aper. ture f<5> covered by a perforated plate, and a compressed fluid passes outward to remove any material left on the bands. The band f is provided at both edges with a bead or raised portion of india-rubber or like material in order that a tight joint may be made with side flanges d<9> of the drum. The band is guided on to the drum by a device i having turned-up edges and a roller i<2>. Below the hopper k<2> an adjustable shield l mounted on a pivoted lever is pressed into rubbing contact with the band by means of a counterweight so as to prevent the escape of liquid downwards. The bolts which fix the axle b to the frame of the apparatus pass through slots c<1> so that the axle can be adjusted through a small arc about its axis. Slotted supports f<4> prevent lateral movement of the drums e', f<1> and keep them at a fixed distance apart. To provide for the washing of the solid matter and the separate collection of the washing liquid the hollow of the axle b may be formed with a transverse division or an additional hollow axle and. drum may be provided for the washing process. According to the Provisional Specification, the stationary drums e', f<1> may be replaced by arrangements similar to the drum d and support b.

Abstract: 2520. Justice, P. M., [Veeder Manufacturing Co.]. Feb. 1. Counting - apparatus; transfer mechanism; zeroizing-mechanism.-In apparatus of the type described in Specification 2519/10, instead of the transfer pinion being arranged in two parts relatively movable, the numeral wheels are constructed in two parts and are adapted to move together during a counting operation, but to move independently while the numeral wheels are being re-set to zero. A longitudinal section of the counter is shown in Fig. 1. The units wheel d receives its motion from a pinion c<1> through a sleeve c<2>, pawl c<4>, and the internal teeth c‹ on the numeral wheel d. The numeral wheels are recessed on their left-hand sides to form a locking-ring g with a notch g<1> and two teeth g<2> to co-operate with the transfer pinions. The transfer pinion comprises a locking pinion k, a six-toothed pinion k<1> to engage the teeth of the locking-ring, and a six-toothed pinion l to engage the internal gear h mounted separately in a recess of the next higher numeral wheel. The internal gear h is provided on its left-hand side with ratchet-teeth h<2> adapted to be engaged by spring pawls h<3>, Fig. 3, secured to the higher wheel. The numeral wheels are zeroized by manual rotation of the shaft, which carries cams m adapted to engage pawls n mounted on the wheels.

The circuit-interrupter may be dispensed with by providing the electro-magnet with one or more projections f, Fig. 2, which act upon the rod b. Two or more oppositelyrotating electro-magnets may act upon a single rod. The Specification in the original form, as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a), also states that the rotary motion of the electromagnets may be converted into the horizontal movements of a rod, or into the rotary motion of a disk-like counter-wheel; the electro-magnet may be placed within the wheels of vehicles so as to act as a rail brake; the invention is applicable to lifting-devices generally, wellboring machines, type-setting machines, the driving of machine tools, &c. This subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted. Reference has been directed by the Comptroller to Specification 25,010/96, [Class 80, Mechanism &c.].

Abstract: 120. Fisher, W. Jan. 3. Fibres, crimping.-In machines for waving or crimping hair and other fibrous material, of the type described in Specifications 2487/74 and 16,339/99, the hollow spindles 66, through which the cores around which the hair &c. is wound are passed, are surrounded by truncated cones 2, 3, Fig. 4, carrying bevel-wheels 2a ... 2<d>, 3a . . . 3<d>, which are in gear one with another, and the teeth of which are arranged in such a manner that the teeth in one wheel are opposite the spaces in the adjacent wheels. These cones 2, 3 are driven from the main shaft 17 by bevelgears 16, 16<a> engaging bevel - wheels 14, 14<a>, 15, 15<a> on the cones, and they are prevented from longitudinal movement in their bearings by flanges 9, 9<a>, 12a, 13a having cut-away portions to permit of the revolution of the cones. Teeth in alternate bevel-wheels are cut away to form a groove to take the spindle 20 through which the hair &c. is led. A tooth is also cut away in the driving-wheel 16<a>. The spindle 20 is carried round in this groove, and is caused to travel first round one cone and then around the other by switch-pieces 24, 25, Fig. 2, pivoted at 26, 27 and rocked through connecting-rods 30, 31 by a lever 32 operated by a cam 34, engaging bowls 35 carried by the lever and driven from the main shaft 17. The movement of the switch-pieces is limited by stops 40, 41, and a spring detent 42 operates upon the upper switch. The drawing-off arrangement comprises rollers 50, 51, 52, Fig. 5, the first of which is separated from the others sufficiently to allow the hair &c. wound around the cores to be inserted readily. The blocks 48 carrying the roller 50 rest against the bottom of the slide 47 with the roller 50 clear of .the rollers 51, 52. .These rollers are driven from the main shaft 17 of the machine through a train of gearing comprising a change-wheel 53 meshing with a wheel 54 carried by an adjustable bracket 49. The spools 65 on which the cores are wound are placed co-axially with the spindles 66. The core is drawn off by a "flyer" arrangement 75, Fig. 6, held by its own weight in its lowest position, and is passed between spring-pressed tension disks 68. The tension disks may be replaced by milled rollers pressed together by suitable means to nip the core. The cones may be provided with pulleys 77 over which a brake band is passed. The spools are prevented from overrunning by spiral springs 78. The tension of the hair passing out of the spindle 20 is regulated by passing it over and under cross pins in a slot at the end of the spindle or between two irregular surfaces pressed together by an india-rubber band. The cores are passed through adjustable tubular projecting pieces 87 to ensure their delivery at the right point.
